Adaptive Cruise Control: A Driver Assistance System type and global trends and forecast to 2018.

Driver Assistance Systems

These are the systems that are developed for the purpose of helping the driver in the driving process. Primary goal of the driver assistance systems is to increase the car safety and human machine interface.

Examples of Driver Assistance Systems are:

A) Adaptive Cruise Control system (ACC)

Cruise control is a system that automatically controls the speed of a motor vehicle.

Adaptive Cruise Control System is an intelligent form of cruise control that manages the speed of a vehicle i.e. slows down or speeds up according to the speed of the vehicle in front of   it. The driver sets the maximum speed — just as with cruise control — then a radar sensor watches for traffic ahead, locks on to the car in a lane, and instructs the car to stay 2, 3, or 4 seconds behind the person car ahead of it (the driver sets the follow distance, within reason). ACC is now almost always paired with a pre-crash system that alerts you and often begins braking.

B) Lane Departure Warning System(LDWS)

A lane departure warning system is a mechanism that is designed to indicate or alarm a driver when the vehicle switches out of its line of focus (unless a turn signal is on in that direction) on freeways and arterial roads.
These systems are designed to reduce the accident rate by taking into account the main causes of collisions which are mistakes of driver, distractions and drowsiness.

C)Blind Spot Detection System

The area surrounded by the vehicle which is not visible by the driver directly when observed is blind spot. Blind spot causes many of the accidents that are taking place. So, to reduce the accidents which are caused by the Blind Spot This system is developed.
